Do you need to season them?

Well, I thought about that too. The only thing I did was put in the new grates & flavorizers and heat it up to a pretty high temperature. You'll see some smoke for a few minutes and then I let it cool. After that no more smoking and I went ahead and started cooking. I typically spray a bit of that Pam for Grilling spray to make cleaning easier later. (Never clean the flavorizer bars though.)

Think so...certainly can't hurt. I coated them with a thin layer of olive oil a few days before using the grill. Grilled some peppers then and all is well...

The grates should be fine using your high temp self-cleaning feature but it will likely cook off the seasoning. Which means you will have to re-season the grates after that process.

Yes...wait until April or May. Any earlier you would have to keep them in the refrigerator.

Yes, you need to season the wok. First, you need to clean the wok to remove factory oil, etc. There are different methods depending on what is easier for you. (www.wokshop.com/tips_hints.html) We seasoned our wok in the oven and used flax oil. Happy cooking!

I would think so. They are basically cast iron skillets. I have heated mine on the stove then put them in the oven. Takes a while for them to reach temperature in the oven for good "char" on meats.

Are you boiling them long enough ? Cause a few times I had to boil them longer then one would think

In both cases depends on the "seasoning"...the more you use them and keep them lightly oiled/seasoned, the better they are. They have become my favorite pans, in the oven, on the grill, and on stove top...

Yes you are Suppose to season it...you can use cook spra but in my opinion Crisco works best. It will stick if you don't oil.

You don't need to season a stainless pan though some do. I don't. But I mostly pan fries stuff and the preheating process with oil is similar to the seasoning process anyway. For things stuck, if not burnt, it is easily soaked and cleaned. For burnt on, I use the barkeepers friend to clean it up. Not really difficult.I am not a chef, so my opinions worth 2 cents.

I seasoned mine before the first use and reseason every four months or so. I have had mine for about two years and they still work well.

I have several orgreenic pans. The instruction I have received with the products were to season them with some oil and heat in the oven. I am not sure you have to do this but it has worked great for me. I use them every day and love them; especially the clean up.

No, not before opening. After they are opened (if not finished) they need to be refrigerated.

how do I prepare the grids for cooking? I got a pair and they look GREAT, just wonder if they need to be seasoned???

No you don't cook them first, just put them on the rack. You might want to put wet paper towel on them to wet them so they can stay on the rack better.

No, don't think you need to season the cookie sheets. Just wash them before you use them.

It's not necessary. What you want to season is the cooking surface. Here's a good thread with more info: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/878128

When I first started using them yes, because I was using them as if they were non-stick pans. You have to use lower heat temperatures with stainless steel.
